Responsible Investment

Responsible Investment at Lexington

Lexington firmly believes that a commitment to strong environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) policies and practices can create lasting value for our limited partners, enhance long-term investment performance, and support alignment with Lexington’s Principles for Responsible Investment (“PRI”) signatory commitment while promoting ESG principles in our industry and society. We are focused on operating at the highest standard of corporate governance, contributing meaningfully to the sustainability of our communities, advancing initiatives to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), and increasing awareness of ESG issues among a broad and diversified group of underlying sponsors in our investment funds. We have integrated ESG factors into our secondary and co-investment policies and procedures and believe that consideration of ESG principles during due diligence is essential in anticipating and mitigating risk. In addition, we consider it our responsibility to provide transparency to our investors regarding our approach to incorporating ESG principles into our investment process.
